Summary "Langs de kust van Afrika" by vicomte de Alphonse Jean René Fleuriot de Langle is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The narrative delves into the rich history of Africa's coastal regions, covering both the ancient and modern exploration of the continent, with a particular focus on the scientific understanding of its peoples, lands, and cultures. The author aims to share the findings and observations gathered during his own travels along the western coast of Africa aboard the fregat "de Zenobia," emphasizing ethnographic and linguistic studies. The opening of the work establishes the historical significance of Africa, referencing notable figures like Caesar and Dr. Livingstone, while hinting at the mysteries that still envelop the continent. It presents a rich tapestry of Africa's past, highlighting exploration efforts, the impact of the slave trade, the interactions of diverse cultures, and the role of various nations in Africa's history. As the narrative unfolds, readers are transported aboard Langle’s ship, where personal experiences and broad historical themes intertwine, offering an insightful glimpse into the diverse realities of African societies that the author is set to explore further.
